Originally posted by RichardB View PostSurely you know that all those covers feature photographs by Steve McCurry, of people from all over the world, which I imagine is intended to symbolise the universality of Bach's music, questionable though that may be as a concept. JEG's use of paintings by Howard Hodgkin for his Brahms series is also a bit incongruous, but at least McCurry's photos and Hodgkin's paintings are actually artworks in their own right, which can't be said for clarinettist Virgil Blackwell snapping Maestro Carter at his birthday party.

Isn't this the spoof album released by Paul Weston and Jo Stafford, posing as Jonathan and Darlene Edwards? Their take on The Last Time I Saw Paris is hilarious.

Originally posted by smittims View PostMy mental make-up renders me unlikely to spot spoofs. I once heard Griff Rhys-Jones speaking eloquently and passionately about the aristsic validity of his favourite rock music. I'm not sure to this day whether it was a leg-pull or whether he was sincere.
